Tom Cruise's Lawyer Talks Suri and Scientology in Settlement

"Tom was always most interested in his child," Bert Fields tells People. "His concern was for Suri. He will have a meaningful relationship with Suri."

Fields negotiated the divorce settlement that granted Holmes primary custody and gave the actor generous visitation rights with the 6-year-old. While Fields doesn't know when Cruise will be visiting his daughter next, he thinks it will be "very soon."

Fields also denied reports that Scientology played a large role in the settlement. "Somebody said the Scientologists were directing negotiations, and that is absolute hogwash. There was no Scientologist present, I wasn't on the phone with Scientologists. Scientologists played no part of role in the negotiations between the lawyers.Suri is currently in New York City with Holmes, while Cruise continues filming overseas.
